New hospital in texas will not have the ability to deliver babies. Compounding this is the flight of OBGYN who do not want to deal with the texas taliban. 60% of rural areas in the state cannot deliver babies. The exodus and lack of care is being felt as maternal deaths spike as well. Also the hospitals that do are inundated as they have to absorb surrounding areas that cannot.
This is assuming rural hospitals even survive the bill that the taliban voted for in regards to health care cuts
